Love Crawls Down the Drain

I can't believe she broke up with me! After five years...

Omar trudged through a purplish gold galaxy, slapping...

Adolescence

Breathe,

And childhood escapes.

Look back,

Memories locked away.

Grasping on any

Sensation,

So as to not lose

It to movement.

Keep moving on,

They say.

You lose it all,

Only tasting,

Never feasting.

Obsession rises

To revive feelings.

Lost is your state,

Constantly flying

Through emptiness...until adulthood.

You can't love

Anything

Until then.

You want to love, but passion is

Forbidden,

Because it holds

You back, keeps

You from moving

On,

Constantly flying

Throught emptiness...until adulthood.

Your not going to be anyone

Until then,

They say.

Adolescence,

The empty identity

That we try to fill.

I usually have something against poems obscurely referring to the adolescent's mind, but I actually understood it.

Just two years ago I thought I was a pretty mature individual, both in body and mind, but then I went to high school, and it is now that I realize that my childhood did not end at the beginning of middle school, but just recently.

Good poem.

This is marvellous. Adolescence must be the best phase of our lives - when we have not grasped the intricacies of life. It is of course as you say "the empty identity that we try to fill."
